Interested in genealogy? Just getting started? Been at it for years? Join us at the Ohio History Center this Saturday, September 8, from 10am to noon, for the Genealogy Workshop: How to Find Naturalization Records.

The United States is influenced by its history of immigration, and Ohio has always been a destination for immigrants who were settling into their new country. Records of naturalization were created and exist in Ohio as a result of Federal law. This genealogy workshop will describe what an individual had to do to become a naturalized citizen. Research suggestions for accessing information about ancestors who followed the naturalization path will be highlighted using collections available at the Ohio History Center.
